My sister and I recently held an estate sale to clear out our dad's apartment in Back Bay. We decided to hire Maggie and team, and are so happy that we did. She was professional throughout - from staging the items to bringing in specialists to assess specific pieces to referring us to outside vendors we needed (piano consignment guy, electrician to remove and pack a fixture for us, clean-out service for our last bits and bobs, etc.) She was incredibly responsive, and put up with my sister's and my many changes to what we wanted to take from the apartment. And if all that wasn't enough, she kept selling for us after the sale. The day the clean-out service came, we still had three big pieces of furniture left. I was dreading his quote to haul them away. Maggie managed to sell all three before he had to haul them. She kept working for us until the bitter end. By the end, I was calling her the "Goddess of Estate Sales." It's tough to go through an estate sale. You watch your family's things disappear bit by bit. Maggie reminded us that we were spreading our dad's legacy into the streets and neighborhoods he loved. If you have to have an estate sale, I would definitely recommend Maggie and team! (via Yelp, 9/13/2019)

WOW! I can't describe how amazing our experience was with Hunt Estate Sales. Every aspect of our Estate sale was handled in a five-star fashion. From the first moment that I saw the amazing photographs and posts on the Hunt Estate Sales website and social media, I knew that Maggie and Jim were the correct people to handle our family's estate sale. We were approached by a slew of potential partners to help us with our Estate sale and none of them remotely compared to Hunt Estate Sales. Maggie and Jim and all the people involved in our estate sale were true professionals; incredibly hardworking and knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. There was a wide mix of items in our 'historic time capsule' and Hunt Estate Sale lovingly and reverentially handled all our family's treasures. They had a unique ability to recognize the value in items and tell our family's story to bring the entire collection to life. Hunt Estate sale attracted just the right mix of over 500 buyers to match our beautiful and eclectic collection with new and loving owners. I highly recommend Hunt Estate Sales. Let Hunt Estate Sales help you turn the past into the future! (via Yelp, 12/13/2019)

Maggie and Jim did an absolutely incredible job (from start to finish) managing an estate sale for me following my mother's death. I had the daunting task of having to clear out the contents of my mother's 13-bedroom Victorian so I could place the home on the market for sale. I don't live nearby and needed to find an estate sale company I could trust to handle the sale without my involvement. My mother was also a bit of a hoarder and the home was literally filled to capacity with furniture, clothing, and other household items. As soon as I met Maggie and Jim I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. Maggie and Jim seem to really have a love and passion for what they do. Not only were they able to sell virtually every single item in the home, but they also coordinated gathering additional items from the garages of two other properties my mother owned to add to the sale, and hired a police detail given how large the sale was, both at no additional charge to me. I felt that Maggie extensively researched and strategically priced all of the items that were sold so as to get the best selling price possible. And, following the sale, Maggie coordinated donating any items that were not sold. This really was one of the best experiences I have ever had hiring someone to render a professional service. Maggie and Jim are friendly, professional, organized, efficient, and honest. I trusted them from the start and they didn't let me down. For anyone who is considering having an estate sale, you will be in good hands if you hire Hunt Estate Sales. (via yelp on 5/27/2018)

I have been to a number of estate sales run by different companies, and my experience with Hunt Estate Sales has been the best by far. I stumbled across my first Hunt estate sale this past weekend because it was in the town where I live. Maggie and her crew were so welcoming and charming, and so nice to do business with. I actually went to the estate sale twice - once when it first opened, and then later in the afternoon. Maggie's prices were more than fair. She and her staff were polite and kind and friendly! I can't say the same about staff from other companies - many who seem to have attitude and simply take the fun out of the "hunt."

I believe you have an edge on the estate sale world! Your fresh approach, attention to the detail, care and concern for the client and, most of all, your clear management of our expectations….all this we recognize and greatly appreciate.

Maggie and Jim - I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our estate sale a huge success! In just a few days you managed to come in and sort, research, photograph, advertise, price, tag, and stage over 25+ years of "stuff". It's an emotional experience allowing people to come into your home and sell your belongings, which in our case spanned many generations, but you handled it professionally and with sensitivity and understanding. I also appreciated the fact that following the sale, when you could have just packed up and moved on to the next job, you continued to facilitate the sale of additional items, and recommended ways to clear out what remained in the house. You and your team made the daunting task of downsizing much easier. It is obvious that you love what you do and it shows in your attention to detail and enthusiasm. I have told several people about your services already and encourage anyone to call you when they are ready to clean house, it's the best gift you can give yourself.

On March 12 th of this year Maggie and Jim held an estate sale at my mothers property in North Wermouth . I was apprehensive at first but soon eased into one of the most pleasurable experiences I have ever had, their caring and attention to detail is second to none. Don't think twice , they deliver what they say they will and then some. Thanks Maggie and Jim, I would do it again.

Downsizing? Don't waste another minute overwhelmed or worried about it. Call Maggie. She and Jim know exactly what to do and how to do it. They are professional, tireless, and upbeat as they solve all your downsizing issues in front of your eyes. Within days they: -sorted through 31 years of accumulation in a large home and barn -moved all the contents of the barn to the house -emptied the attic into the downstairs of the house -actually repaired a couple of items for sale -amazingly priced all items with exacting market knowledge and in consultation with expert appraisers as needed, including finding value among jewelry items that surprised even us -securely staged everything in a manner so appealing and coordinated that even the cellar was attractive -photographed the displays and marketed them widely, including to their large social media following. The morning of the sale there was a line outside the doors and cars appeared from 4 states. After a successful sale, Maggie still managed to sell some items and organized a final removal service that finished the job. We promptly received a thorough itemized accounting of the sale and the welcomed proceeds. We recommend Hunt Estate Sales without reservation. The job Maggie and Jim did for us was an education, a huge relief, and gave us a chance to meet two of the more interesting and enjoyable people we have the pleasure to know.

I have been to several estate sales run by Maggie. They are always full of interesting finds at reasonable prices and Maggie goes out of her way to help people. Jim is great too. And Maggie always looks way too cute to be running an estate sale.

Everyone needs a Maggie in their life! From the moment I met her I knew she had the energy and desire to take on our estate needs. Closing a home is an emotional process in the best of circumstances and when the reason is driven by loss of loved ones, it is even more highly charged. Maggie came in, recognized the scope of work that had been done to sort a vast collection of lifelong belongings and embraced the project with certainty, sensitivity and authority. She exuded nothing but confidence and determination from the word go. She and her team took over the task and continued sorting and valuing every belonging. Maggie communicated timely and generously throughout the process, plus went above and beyond to reduce the incredible variety of collections that were included in the estate sale. She has a strong and loyal following plus uses a wide variety of tools to draw a diverse crowd that made our sale a success. We are very grateful and recommend Maggie and Hunt Estate Sales wholeheartedly.

Maggie is amazing!! She was great from first phone call to finish. Everything she said she would do she did, and then she still did more. The process of selling your home can be stressful in itself. I wouldn't have been able to focus on my journey if it wasn't for her help. Thank you Maggie and Jim! I didn't realize how much value I had just sitting in dusty boxes.
